I crunched the data on all Kickstarter film projects between the start of Kickstarter and Oct 2015.

I have written it up as three blog posts...

Here are some of the top findings...

* 39% of Kickstarter film projects last 30 days (19% last under 30 days and 42% last over 30 days)
* The projects with the highest success rates are 18 days long
* The success rate for campaigns with a video is twice that of those without a video
* The average length of Kickstarter videos is 3 minutes 20 seconds
* Campaigns with videos between 3 to 4 minutes were the most successful, with a success rate of 51.9%
* Campaigns by people who launched a project within a week of joining Kickstarter failed 74% of the time
* Those who joined Kickstarter over a year before they launched a campaign had a success rate of 49%
* Kickstarter film projects offer an average of 8.6 rewards
* Those offering 30 rewards succeeded 63.9% of the time
On average, creators used 2,682 characters to describe their campaigns.
